I'm not sure I understand what you're doing, but perhaps you need another table that maps the symbols you created to the tables they refer to. Call it table-names. Then you could rewrite thad like this:

  (def thad (table-or-table-name)
    (if (isa table-or-table-name 'table) (do-what-you-did-before)
        (thad (table-names table-or-table-name))))

But I suspect there is a better way of doing what you're trying to do, so if you give us some more details then we might be able to suggest a more sane alternative.
